The system worked fine with networking support. I then added a virtual network driver (similar to ftp://ftp.linux.it/pub/People/Rubini/insane.tar.gz) to the kernel. (There is no change made to drivers/net/loopback.c). I compile the kernel in usual steps (make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install). The compilation works fine. However, when I am booting the new kernel image, the system hangs at the prompt "bringing up interface lo:". It does not echo "[OK]". The system boots fine in single user mode. When I ran "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start", it got stuck at "./ifup ifcfg-lo". Infact, in the ifup script, it is halting at "ip addr add ${IPADDR}/${PREFIX} brd ${BROADCAST:-+} dev ${REALDEVICE} .." called to add adrress for lo. I checked that it is correctly using IPADDR=127.0.0.1. Since the system works fine with old kernel image, I guess the problem is with the new kernel image. I shall appreciate any pointer on what may go wrong. TIA.
